Yeah, I had no idea that he was a right-wing comedian and now I feel weirdly guilty for liking some of the other stuff I have seen from kill Tony clips.

I had forgotten how hard that trailer went. Also, I just got a weirdly nostalgic pang from that EA blood dragon that for me is really reminiscent of the end of the era when you could trust that anything published by the EA/Bioware team was going to fucking excel.

Origins is excellent. but all of them are in different ways.

Exactly. Origins was revolutionary at the time for it's broad branching character and narrative options. DA2 actually had a fantastic if comparatively linear story and arguably the strongest setting of all three games. DA3 for all of its bloat had a huge beautiful world to explore and strong characters. I know it's a controversial opinion, but I actually really enjoyed the combat in DA3 as well.

People get really hung up on the rose-tinted novelty of Origins at the time of its release, and it was amazing at the time, but it's hardly the best RPG ever made. I don't know if I would even consider it part of the discussion.

50 states makes this game too difficult. Can we just guess colors instead?

The Baldur's Gate series has been my favorite franchise since the first game launched, I adored each of the Dragon Age games for what they were, and I really don't understand what the point of this article is. It's just a love letter to Origins. She keeps pointing out that BG3 sure is a great successor to Origins which was in itself a successor to BG 1/2, which just....duh? Is she trying to convince people to go back and play Origins? I don't think that is a terrible idea, but I would point them instead to the original games if you want to experience what BG3 is truly resurrecting.

Still no, but legally it's more of a gray area. As the timeline stands it makes a clear message of "I will give you a chance to win $1mil if you go register to vote".

It specifically requires that participants (who will inherently be pro-trump) be registered voters and was announced before the registration cut off date. It's not exactly a leap to come to the conclusion that this is buying Republican voter registration.

Someone with better Photoshop skills than I needs to turn this into TuRock.

Unless that individual was not already registered and did so explicitly because you offered them the opportunity to make a million dollars.

We all have the Internet available to us. It's worth spending 30 seconds to look up the definition of the profession of the individual you are attempting to undermine the validity of.

How is this legal?

The company was founded almost 20 years ago. At what point is it no longer a startup?
